Te Taura Whiri I te Reo Māori is claiming a new world record for this year’s Māori Language Moment.
It says more than 1.13 million people took time out at noon yesterday to celebrate te reo Māori.
Chief executive Ngahiwi Apanui says people can still register and share their moments with the Māori Language Commission, and the final total will be declared next week.
He says the event was so popular the commission’s social media pages have been targeted by scammers.
The commission will never ask people to give their credit card details.
